Misc. Headcanons

Since Henry's canon is an ongoing one this is all subject to change depending on what extra information we learn about Henry.

HERE BE SPOILERS AND SPECULATION.

• Timeline stuff: Henry used to work at the studio during the 1940s. The game takes place 30 years later, so dear Henry's from the 1970s. "The fuck is a cellphone" wonders Henry.
• He was also in his twenties when he worked at the studio, and probably was one of the younger artists there. He's in his fifties now. HE AN OLD MAN.
• Unless we get a canon surname I'm going with "Hernandez." Henry Hernandez.
• Confirmed Bachelor. Until we get more details on who Linda is to him, his family status is gonna have to be vague. (Though from context it sounds like she was a significant other of some sort, i.e. a girlfriend or wife.)
• Joey Drew was a friend and mentor figure to bby animator Henry. They had a really bad falling out at some point- it seems to be implied that Henry was a co-creator of Bendy and the others and I can see Joey having screwed him on the property rights- and kind of a rocky relationship in general due to Joey Drew being a very emotionally exhausting kind of guy? It's still a bit of an... emotional subject for Henry and his returning to the studio was basically an attempt to get some closure.
• Related to the above, Joey is probably dead or "missing presumed dead" since Henry doesn't seem to be expecting to see Joey when he arrives.
• The studio pretty much was a cult back when Henry finally left although more in the "You should devote all your time, energy, and money to your work here or you're A Bad Person" sense than any overt "HEAR ME BENDY" stuff. (That came at some point after he left.) It was simultaneously an extremely godawful and extremely exhilarating period of Henry's life and after he was out of it he suffered from a sort of artistic burnout for a while. 
• Might have been drafted into WW2? It would have been about the right era and would be one reason why he'd have left the studio beyond the stressfulness of it.
• Mentions not remembering the merchandising department when you first enter (not to mention earlier wondering "when this place got so big") which could mean several things? Part of me wonders if there's some Plot Relevant Amnesia going on but for now I'll be lightly treating it as "Henry generally kept to himself/his work while he was at the studio and then a lot of the expansions came after he left."
• Generally a nice, levelheaded sort of guy almost unnervingly so sometimes but with a curious streak that is probably gonna be a handicap to him in the horror game that is his life now.
• ABSOLUTELY went and summoned the maximum number of Bendy cutouts in the orchestra room just to see how many could show up.
• Tends to talk to himself, mostly giving himself small reminders of/working out what he's doing. Has embarrassed himself in the past via somebody catching him saying things like "I think your hand's a bit off," "Maybe you'll look better from another angle," and so forth to drawings he's working on.
• Gets a lot more quiet if he's around someone he doesn't trust, though.
• Is starting to need glasses. Is in denial of this.
• Developing an unfortunate habit of losing consciousness and waking up in the middle of pentagrams.
• Just wants to draw cute things tbh
